deep blue depths
I just thought I’d celebrate my first painting since like October (okay, I’ve done two…three counting a Christmas present) with a post of its own. I finally had some calm free time this week before going back to school, so I sat down and decided to at long last mess around with my typewriter. I […]
only sketches to show
Getting texts from Kyra at various points in the story while she was reading Sun-Walking made me more sentimental about Lucy. So I drew her post-story with tattoos and scars on her legs. … Yay? Weird fluffy Ingrid. This has been a somewhat discouraging last few months for my art. Really, since my art show, […]
come together, come apart
New coloring format, yeyyyyy. I don’t know why I suddenly wanted to do the colors this way – I was in the middle of trying to be productive on Stealing from Raquildis after sitting on the same panel for a week, and then I realized I just really wanted to do a standalone photo. And, […]
oh, baby you’re a classic
So I accepted some time ago that Micah represents myself in male form so that nobody’s been able to accuse me of overusing my “Mary Sue” (as Margaret daintily put it…to my chagrin), but recently I have begun to acknowledge that Ingrid/Sophie is my female representation of self…but only when she’s black? Not sure what […]
too close for me, too distant for them
This weekend, I had my first experience with attempting to market my art. I was a participant in the Skyline Art Crawl. When I first eagerly and naively agreed to give it a shot – and when I was then admitted as an artist and signed my name in $70 blood – I had no […]
Fall Cast
So working on this piece got my extremely sentimental and nostalgic. Missy Higgins’ song “Warm Whispers” made it worse. Any time I am in between creative projects (not that my art crawl isn’t taking up ALL of my energy), it’s always this cast that I come back to. And I got sad, too, thinking about […]
Danny & Ingrid
what is wrong with me i neeever realized how much i draw this couple until i decided to post my latest one and felt like i needed to post something else years and years and years and years …to think they were at one point going to be brother and sister. O________o
Faces
Though I’ve been doing more reading than art in the past few days (I just finished “Mansfield Park” and am now swooping in on both a Patricia McKillip novel “Ombria in Shadow” and a Patricia C. Wrede novel “A Matter of Magic”, all great female authors with great female-focused casts, although Fanny would have made […]
And Dad Told Me, “Move On”
When you take something you believe in, and you offer it to someone you want to believe in, but it’s turned away, it’s hard. Sorry for being cryptic – I’m not even sure if I should be writing about this here. And these are raw feelings. But I just receive a polite rejection to my […]
